Over the last week we have conducted an online poll and survey asking businesses how they use cloud services today. The results show that businesses are using the cloud in a variety of ways.

Many of the respondents use the cloud to video conference or conduct online meetings. There are several different tools that businesses are currently using to communicate online. These include separate tools to chat, video conference, and deliver webinars. Did you know that Microsoft Office 365 from AppRiver includes Lync Online, which allows you to host online meetings, webinars and high definition video conferences? You can even share your desktop with Lync.

Lync Online is just one of the features from Office 365 that will provide your business with the same tools a bigger company might use for a fraction of the cost. Visit our Office 365 information page to learn more.

Follow us on Twitter or Facebook to take our poll next week, which will see how much you currently know about Office 365. I'd also love to hear how your office uses the cloud in the comments.
